Working with sustainable suppliers improves efficiency, reduces costs, attracts investment and demonstrates your commitment to being an employer of choice by increasing your CSR (corporate social responsibility) score.
As a member of One Nucleus, you can take advantage of various suppliers who are passionate about supporting your organisation to reduce its environmental impact and make significant savings via our Group Purchasing Scheme and Member Marketplace, through utilising our:

It is the longest-running purchasing consortium of its kind in the UK, saving members over £3million per annum. Please note, Gold Members have access to all suppliers listed below and Silver Member have access to some but not all.
- Member Marketplace: Our Member Marketplace is a convenient destination to find products and services at discounted rates from One Nucleus members to other members.
Our largest Preferred Supplier, Fisher Scientific, benefits from the dedication to sustainability in its broadest sense of its parent company Thermo Fisher Scientific. Thermo sets out clear objectives and policies on how it supports its customers. These and similar principles are reflected across our other Preferred Suppliers and is a consideration One Nucleus makes when selecting suppliers. Further examples of how One Nucleus suppliers are helping you increase the sustainability of your supply chains include:
United Airlines, which has accepted One Nucleus as a Corporate Direct client on behalf of our members, to provide discounted flights from the UK to key US destinations. United has announced its goal to be 100% green by 2050 by completely reducing their greenhouse emissions. In January 2023, it formed a joint venture with Tallgrass Energy and Green Plains to develop and commercialise SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) technology based on ethanol, and in February 2023, it launched the UAV Sustainable Flight Fund and became the first US airline to show customers an estimate of each flight's carbon footprint in their search.
001, providers of utility savings and green energy audits, can support you in reducing your carbon footprint, stand out from competitors and boost your CSR goals. It offers renewable energy alternatives and cost-effective solutions.
Air Liquide, suppliers of industrial gases and services, recently received a delivery of a complete 20MW electrolyzer, as part of its commitment to the production of renewable hydrogen.
Air Products announced a joint venture to build the world’s largest green hydrogen plant in May 2023 to produce green ammonia in 2026 with NEOM and ACWA Power. The project will save up to 5 million tonnes of CO2 per year and produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen per day.
